2019 CAR symposium: Focus on transport, air quality and health

10 May 2019

​

A panel session with War on Waste host Craig Reucassel will be a highlight of the Centre for Air pollution, energy and health Research (CAR) 2019 Symposium, which will focus on how changes in our cities and transport affect air quality and health.

​

The symposium on 31 May will also showcase new research in air pollution and energy transitions.

​

The plenary session will feature two leading transport and built environment academics:

​

• Professor Mark Stevenson, Professor of Urban Transport and Public Health, University of Melbourne, who will present on 'Cities, transport and population health: Opportunities to enhance air quality'.

• Professor Chris Pettit, Professor of Urban Science, Faculty of Built Environment, UNSW, who will present on 'City analytics and smart cities: Informing urban planning and air quality improvements'.

 

The panel session with Craig Reucassel will involve academics, policy makers and community representatives discussing the question: 'What research is needed to inform urban and transport planning policy decisions that support health through better air quality and energy use?'
